There should be 6/6 and 6/9 in one eye to another, which can be corrected only 6/6 for hyperopia.
vision defects
hyperopia States must not exceed + 2.0D Sphere.
No myopia.
Astigmatism should be 0.75 Cil D with maximum 2.0 D
Near vision must be N-5 each eye.

The distance of 100 cm is important in the aircraft cabin and similar environments and for users of CRT displays. When two values, such as N5 and N14, the first value is the reading distance (30-50 cm) and the second to the distance of 100 cm is.
